The Champion of the Thames, aka The Champ, is a traditional old boozer in the heart of Cambridge.
We pride ourselves on serving the BEST ale in the city and we can of course back this up with our latest award from CAMRA who recently listed us Pub of the Year 2024 in both City and District. We were also a proud runner up in Velvet* Magazine's 2024 Food & Drink Awards, and we just found out our little unique What3Words square at the entrance to our pub is bossy.undulation.limes! That about sums us up really!
We think that excellent, friendly service is really important, so that's what you'll get.
You might also be treated to a good old-fashioned sing-song if Jonny is about, or Robin and crew drop in over the weekend. We take no responsibility for the quality of music, and the high stools might be taken, but we can guarantee the fun!
We have been recognised by Green King as Pub of the Year for several years.
We are Consistently listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide, most recently - CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2024, Winner of CAMRA Pub of the Year 2024 Cambridge City and District and Cambridgeshire, and most importantly perhaps, we can boast a regulars table. Customers return!
Bring your four-legged friend in for a drink and a chat - we've always got a water bowl and treats behind the bar (and that's Hula, one of our regulars and a professional biscuit snaffler).

"Lived in Cambridge for the last 10 years. Gutted that I have only just found this pub. Adrian the barman is an amazing guy. Can’t recommend this pub more highly. We will be back!"
"Brilliant traditional pub that always keeps excellent beer. Service is friendly and quick which is even better as it is always busy. Highly recommended"
"Lots of atmosphere in a really traditional setting, known to generations of locals and students. The staff are welcoming and friendly, and they keep a good range of excellent craft beers on draught. Well worth a visit and nicely central, but in a quiet street"
"Absolutely remarkable service, bartender gave me his own banana from his lunchbox and a pickled onion which was the best I've ever had!"
"Best pub in the history of time. Have the Abbott."
"Me and my Girlfriend found this absolute gem while visiting from Nottingham. Probably the nicest barman going (Adrian) really good vibe, only popped in for one on our walk and stayed for 3! If we are ever working this way again, this will be our go to place! Highly recommend 🙂"
